Overview of installing Apama with Command Central
You can provision new and update existing Apama environments using Software AG Command Central. You can do this on any machine on which Platform Manager is running. You can then invoke the Software AG Installer or Software AG Update Manager directly from Command Central and do silent installations and uninstallations of the Apama product and its product fixes.
This topic just provides a brief overview of how to install Apama using Command Central. For detailed information, see the Command Central documentation at http://documentation.softwareag.com/.
The information about the available installation nodes and components (Server, Dashboard Viewer, Designer) in Running the Software AG Installer also applies to Command Central.
If you want to install Apama using Command Central, proceed as follows:
1. Install a Command Central server, install Software AG Platform Manager (SPM) on any machine on which you want to install Apama, and make sure the Command Central and Platform Manager servers/services have been started. The simplest way to do this is to use the Command Central bootstrapper. Configure each SPM instance as an installation in the Command Central server. See Software AG Command Central Help for more details.
Tip:
The default credentials for a new installation are Administrator for the user name and manage for the password.
2. Configure a repository for the Apama product (using either the web user interface or the sagcc command line interface). To do so, you can either create credentials in the Command Central server using your Empower credentials and then define a repository using the credentials, or use a locally generated image.
3. Install Apama and apply the latest fixes using one of the following options:
*Using the Command Central web user interface. See Software AG Command Central Help for information on how to install products.
*Using the Command Central templates as described at https://github.com/SoftwareAG/sagdevops-templates/tree/master/templates/sag-apama-correlator. This template installs the latest fixes and then creates a single correlator. The correlator is configured to use a license if Command Central has been given an appropriate license.
Ensure that a license file is available. See also License file.
Note:
Unlike using the Software AG Installer, Command Central does not let you specify a different location for the Apama work directory. The Command Central installation uses the default location of the Apama work directory. On Windows, this is in the all-users %PUBLIC% directory (for example, C:\Users\Public\SoftwareAG\ApamaWork_n.n) and on UNIX this is ~/softwareag/apamawork_n.n.
